These challenges include using your parkour skills to pass through checkpoints, defeating all enemies within a time limit, defeating a particularly nasty infected, or completing multiple objectives.

Each challenge has three difficulty levels, and completing more challenges unlocks new levels that get progressively more difficult. Players will choose between four challenges: Rush, Freak Fight, Carnage, or Spectacle. Aiden enters a tournament that sees him climbing the ranks to make it to the final fight.

And there are some odd dialogue choices, even when considering Aiden’s snarkiness and the eccentricity that makes up the last dregs of humanity.īut while the main story is hit-and-miss, the area where this DLC shines the most is its gameplay. Some are interesting, others not some have good voice acting and believable lines, while others leave something to be desired. Several new characters you can interact with also have their ups and downs. And whether that’s purposeful or not, it only compounds the troubles with the storyline. As usual, you have some say with how friendly you are with Ciro, but his involvement is paramount to the story, so Ciro’s introduction and development feel too rushed to make you feel for the plight of Ogar and his sons.Īdditionally, the big twist in the main story is highly predictable. The plot moves too fast, where one second you’re annoyed that Ciro stole your money, and the next, you’re drinking like best friends. Ciro, who is at the center of the story, along with his father, Ogar, is a character that’s hard to like, let alone want to suddenly help. The story has its interesting parts, but overall, is stale. To put it bluntly, “Bloody Ties” has ups and downs. Dying Light 2 is a first-person action survival horror game set in a post-apocalyptic open world published and developed by Techland. But his involvement will send Aiden deep into a plot of power and revenge. Along the way, Aiden assists Ciro, a young, aspiring combatant. However, to get in on the action, the player will have to fight in local duels and complete various missions to get an invite to the Opera, a mecca for the finest warriors. In Dying Light 2‘s first official story DLC, “Bloody Ties,” Aiden learns about a deadly tournament where people sacrifice everything just for status. Our favorite infected-killing, hang-gliding, grapple-hooking, snarky Pilgrim is back, and he’s been seduced by the promise of fame and fortune.
